I had no idea that you did this trip, beautiful country. I hiked into Spruce through Taylor Basin and Windy Pass about a year or so ago from Tyax. Much quicker in Tyax's Beaver though!
Russ, Yep the lake that goes on forever (good old Hydro set up) is Carpenter. I have done this trip twice now - so good. And ya I will pay for the plane instead of the hike.
